Making good use of your time
We hope all our students enjoy the break and get the opportunity for a rest after a busy first term.
However the break also allows you an opportunity to catch up on any work missed, revise key topics and get ahead for next term. There are some great tips on making use of this time on many websites, including The Student Room here. We look forward to seeing you refreshed and ready to learn again in January.
